I'm so glad these losers use "female". I don't have to waste time taking them seriously.
How is it not specific enough and what is this current environment?
Every time I hear someone refer to a woman as a female that person is invariably some kind of incel loser.
I know everyone's sick of me saying it but that dude is probably a low-key transphobe.
Most incels are. They hate women and trans women are women.
Bingo. Transphobia allows them to exert misogyny on an "acceptable" target while also policing femininity in a broader sense.
Could be. Answering the clarifying questions I asked might clear that up.
"woman" is the term you are looking for. Doesn't have to be any more specific than that unless you're a fucking doctor
I'm so sorry for
🤨
They're not of the correctly gendering crowd, ergo their use of "female" is inherently derogatory. That's the point. It's not the word, per se, but the sub-cultural use of it.
The fuck are you talking about?
